[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [qb]As to the names of our coins, why do you find them odd? Quarters are quarter-dollars, dimes are one-tenth of a dollar, nickels are made of nickel. And pennies are pennies on both sides of the pond, for reasons I'm now curious to dig up... [/qb][/QUOTE]Because, well, why not call them 25 cent, 10 cent, 5 cent, and 1 cent coins? As Tim has shown, you spend ages saying "Oh, you Brits with your silly names for your coins", but then we change them, yet you still keep to the same silly names. And you are not even consistent. Why not call dimes "small silvers", eh? FOOL! And, seriously, I'd love to see someone jab themselves with a 20p coin. Because I could smack them in the face for being a moron. [/QB][/QUOTE]
